Chapter 90 Feeling Helpless

Before Reina could reply to the message, the phone rang again. It was not a text message but a phone call. After hesitating for a while, she answered the call.

"Reina, have you made your decision?" Jasper's voice sounded from the other end of the line. Madelyn had to be beside him because her voice could also be heard clearly. "Didn't you say you wanted to save Donald? Then give us half of Scarlet Swan Villa's equity. Otherwise, Jasper will end Donald's life!"

Moments later, she added, "Don't you like him? Can't you even do this for him?"

"Jasper, don't cross the line." Reina's voice was cold.

The man instantly burst into laughter. "He slapped my woman, and the whole incident was recorded by the surveillance camera. Even if you ask the officials for help, we're the victims. Don't force me to involve my father in this. Otherwise..."

Letting out a long sigh, Reina piped up, "50% is too much."

"I'm not calling to negotiate with you. If you agree to give me 50% of the shares, bring the equity transfer agreement to room 1102 at Lunar Hotel at eleven o'clock tonight. If you disagree, I'll make sure Donald Campbell bites the dust tomorrow morning." After saying that, Jasper hung up.

Scarlet Swan Villa had not been listed and would not be listed in the near future, which meant that it was Reina's personal property.

Even if Pollerton Real Estate went bankrupt, she would be fine as long as she still owned Scarlet Swan Villa.

However, Jasper was now asking her to give him half of the equity.

The villa was the result of her hard work over the years.

No one knew how much time and money she had invested into turning Scarlet Swan Villa from a swamp to a wetland park. Not to mention a slew of official swan-breeding-and-sale procedures. Slumping onto the chair, she closed her eyes, and her expression turned gloomy.

It was the first time she felt so lonely and helpless.

After some deliberation, she called Emma Dolezal.

Emma was the first person who invested in Reina. She was a Pollertonian and owned around three hundred properties in the city. All she did was collect rent.

"Ms. Dolezal, I have encountered a problem," Reina uttered.

"What is it?" Soon, a sleepy voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

Immediately, Reina told her what had happened.

"What? You want to use half of Scarlet Swan Villa's equity to save a man? No. I've mentioned to you before that I want you to be my daughter-in-law. I'll never allow it," Emma refused without hesitance.

Reina was stunned for a moment.

In her impression, Emma had always been amiable.

She had mentioned the matter before, but her son had rejected it. Besides, Reina had never wanted to be her daughter-in-law, so they had never talked about it again.

"Your son has disagreed, and I've never wanted to marry him either," explained Reina.

In response, Emma sneered. "Have you forgotten what I've done for you? Let me tell you. Offending Lucas doesn't benefit you in any way. Of course, I'm not afraid of Lucas, but why should I save a stranger? Scarlet Swan Villa is your future dowry. I won't allow anyone to lay their hands on it!" The more she spoke, the more indifferent her voice became.

At that moment, Reina felt a shiver run down her spine.

It was the first time Emma showed aggression in front of her.

Back then, Emma invested ten million in Reina, but the income the former had generated from the latter over the years had already exceeded fifty million. Moreover, Reina had already returned the principal amount to Emma.

Little did she know that everyone would try to take advantage of her after Scarlet Swan Villa rose to fame.

"If it weren't for my ten million, there would be no you, let alone Scarlet Swan Villa!" emphasized Emma.
